"One wrong move from you and your family will die," Antonio answered, his lips were hooked into a smile as he watched his beloved nephew walk towards them. Peter must have already dealt with Mia, he thought. "Anyway, after Peter divorced Mia he and Quan Lei will undergo some test to see who is really fit to be your husband."
"I am already married." Jennie said.
ennie to declare that she was already married. In fact, he already had this suspension before. Of course, at that time, he did not care about this.
Lisa will die soon and that would make Jennie available once again.. Quan Lei was not someone who would care about trivial things like this. As long as Jennie would become his wife then he would not any complains at all. The only thing that he had a problem of is the fact that Peter also wanted to become Jennie's husband.
With these in mind, he narrowed his eyes at Peter.
"I never thought that you would abandon your wife and do this to me. I was to become Jennie's husband. It was already decided years ago. I don't think you should involve yourself in our matter." He said. A flicker of irritation flashed into his eyes as he forced himself to swallow his frustrations. When it comes to talent, he is confident that he was equal with Peter Pardi. But when it comes to family background. Peter would defeat him in a blink of an eye.
"You are thinking too much," Peter smiled his eyes were already on Jennie. Friendship was nothing in front of power and influence. In this world that they were in, there is no such thing as friendships. Only power and more power. "I took an interest in Jennie after I saw her. I find her interesting and lovely. What's wrong with pursuing her? Moreover, I believe, I am the best candidate to stand next to her."
"What did you say?" Quan Lei asked, his tone low and grave. He won't deny the fact that he really felt the threat that Peter brings. However, this does not mean that he would give up and not fight what was rightfully his. After all, in Quan Lei's mind, Jennie was already his from the start. He watched her grow and become stronger back when they were working together. He felt that they had already shared something memorable.
His only regret back then was not working hard enough to get closer to her. He always thought that he could do this once they leave the headquarters. Who would have thought that Wang Bolin would be closely guarding Jennie? Always preventing him from even standing next to her.
With this in mind, he gave Wang Bolin a glare.
"Enough you two." It was the first elder. "There will be a proper way to know who will become Jennie's husband."
Mr. Quan was about to rebut the Elder's words when they heard Jennie chuckle. Everyone turned their attention towards the latter, confusion apparent in their faces. Why would she laugh?
"Fool." Jennie said, eyes full of ridicule. "First you invited me here thinking to trap me. Second, you talk about my personal matter as if you owned me. Thinking that you already succeeded and already counting the eggs before they hatch."
"Tell me... are you stupid? Or truly stupid?" she then laughed. She was originally thinking that these people will not hurt Lisa because of what she heard last night. But she was wrong. She was so wrong.
In fact, Jennie was really nervous right now. She was just putting on an act of being brave in front of these people. Knowing that they have actually dared to attack Lisa is making Jennie worry. However, worrying too much won't give her anything. Because of this, she is doing her best to compose herself.
"Stop acting tough." Antonio sneered. "I just got the news that the mansion was already on fire. If my guess is right, then that man of yours is already dead. Buried in that mansion." After seeing the smile on Jennie's face disappeared, Antonio continued. "We are kind enough to give you choices. Don't blame us to killing him. He was nothing but a weakness. He does not deserve you."
she did not answer Antonio. She only lowered her head. She would not show any weakness now. This is the second time that someone called Lisa her weakness and she was really getting tired of it. "You know Antonio, the last person who called my husband weak... was now buried six feet under the ground."
"Preposterous!" The first elder scolded. "Are you threatening..." his words were interrupted when Antonio raised his hand, a signal for him to stop talking.
"I told you acting tough is useless now that you are in our turf. Now... I highly suggest..."
"Useless?" Jennie smirked. "How about I tell you the things that I found out last night?"
Without waiting for them to answer, she continued. "I only found out that this mansion had three beautiful places that people frequent. First is the ranch which is located one point five kilometers away from here. Second is the beautiful lake which is next to the landing area. It had a little villa which by the way is the highlight of the entire estate... and... the third is this mansion."
"A place that was made more than a hundred years ago. Something that resembled a castle with its elegant carvings and stone walls. I was totally... bewildered."
"What are you trying to say? We are not here to talk about views and beautiful environment!" Mr. Quan hissed. This talk is for Jennie's marriage. For short, this is about Quan Lei. Not some house appreciation meeting!
"Oh trust me, Mr. Quan... I am not here to talk about beauty. In fact... Let me start talking about how I shall destroy these places!"
